My mother's name was Iris. She passed away
last August and in remembrance I planted a iris in my garden. I also
planted irises years ago outside her apartment and she loved to look at them
each spring. So you could say this was to be the last iris I planted for mom.
I have a few irises in my garden scattered around, all of them iris blue in
color. So when my irises started to come up this Spring I couldn't remember
where I had planted this "special" iris. I recently weeded my garden
and accidentally a few were removed so I thought I might never see this
particular iris. But today there it was standing tall majestically by itself,
the only one that was cream and burgundy! And it made me smile
